Love and Fury

Fic Summary: The goat herder’s daughter, Leandra, has spent the past year of her life trying to catch the man who raped her best friend in the act. When she finally sees him slip something into somebody’s drink, she panics and overturns her plate of food onto his potential victim in order to get her out of there. Pepa, the would be victim in question, is very understanding once Leandra explains what happened. Unfortunately, nobody remembered to pass that explanation onto Bruno. Pre-Movie AU. Rape is a theme but none is shown “on-screen”. Trigger Warnings: Attempted Rape

CH 1 Panic! At the Quinceanera 

People often forget that Bruno Madrigal, despite having The Sight, was not actually omnipotent. He could see the future, see who was going to go bald, get fat, the exact time and place of your beloved goldfish’s demise; but, he couldn’t see through walls.

Which is for the best, really, mostly because people already thought he was creepy enough as it is. But even more importantly, if he’d seen through the walls of Señor Sanchez’s house on the night of Gabriele Sanchez’s quinceanera he would have known that when Leandra, the goat herder’s daughter, dropped a plate of food on Pepa’s lap she was actually doing Pepa a huge favor.

If he’d seen through the walls, he would have seen Cicero, Pepa’s current crush/almost boyfriend, prepare a drink for Pepa at the punch bowl. He’d have seen Cicero slip a little something extra into the drink when he thought nobody was looking. He’d have seen Leandra’s look of panic as she realized what she was witnessing.

But Bruno Madrigal could not see through walls, so all he saw was red as Cicero, Pepa’s latest crush/almost boyfriend, laughed at her. 

Pepa stared down at the food staining her dress, her brand new dress, a storm cloud forming over her head. Her bottom lip wobbled but she clenched her jaw and turned a glare on the woman and the overturned plate in her hand.

Leandra leaned down and hissed something to Pepa, Bruno couldn’t hear what she said, but he saw the way Pepa’s face fell as she looked first at Cicero, who was bent over double, then at her half empty drink.

Cicero’s bark of laughter had drawn the attention of the other people standing in the Sanchez’s garden. As heads turned their way Pepa’s cheeks reddened and the cloud over her head began to drizzle. She glanced around, looked at Cicero, then looked to the woman standing over her. 

“I’m so sorry Pepa,” and she sounded so genuinely sad that for a second Bruno’s anger abetted, but then she finished, “I tripped.”

Bruno expected lightning to flash at this blatant lie, he expected Pepa to shoot to her feet and call the other woman out, he moved to stand behind her left shoulder, mirroring Julieta who stood behind her right. They both crossed their arms and glared at the lying witch, ready to back their triplet up in whatever fight broke out.

“That’s ok,” Pepa said, slowly rising to her feet and brushing the food off her lap, “I-it’s not your fault.”

Bruno exchanged a shocked look with Julietta who opened her mouth to say what they were both thinking, “But she-.”

Pepa held up a hand with a small shake of her head, “I better g-get home and wash this stuff off.”

“I’ll walk you,” Cicero offered immediately, having reigned his laughter in and slapped on a charming smile. Bruno frowned at him, he figured the least the man could do was apologize for his initial reaction.

He was so busy frowning at Cicero that he missed the way Pepa paled at the offer.

“No,” the lying, envious, witch, yelled as she turned quickly to Cicero, “I need… I was actually coming over here to discuss buying some of your father’s wine for an event. An event to um… sell more cheese.”

Cicero smirked, clearly coming to the same conclusion that Bruno had, that she had spilled her food on Pepa specifically to steal Cicero’s attention for herself. 

“Oh, but I-,” Cicero started to say, holding a hand out to Pepa. Pepa gulped as she looked in between Cicero’s hand and the goat herder’s daughter.

“Wanted to dance? Great! We can dance,” she put herself between Cicero and Pepa, snatching up his hand.

Bruno felt his lip curl in disgust, this time he was the one who opened his mouth to say something to the lying, envious, conniving witch.

“That sounds like a great idea,” Pepa said, cutting Bruno off as she strung her arm through his, “Bruno, Julietta, will you two walk me home.”

“Of course,” Julietta said, with one more glance at Cicero and the lying, envious, conniving, horrible, witch that had attacked their sister. 

Bruno just glared at the couple as Pepa tugged him away, even craning his neck to send one last dirty look at the lying, envious, conniving, horrible, evil, witch as she smiled nervously at Cicero. When they were clear of the party, Pepa’s drizzle turned into a downpour, soaking all three of them through. Julietta softly asked why Pepa hadn’t wanted to call the other woman out on her lie but the only answer she’d received was a quiet sob. They’d walked through the village, which was thankfully empty due to everybody being at the party, in somewhat awkward silence only broken by the occasional crash of thunder.

“A-at least the rain should keep the stains from setting,” Bruno said, as Casita came into view.

Pepa laughed wetly, then sucked in a breath, “God, I’m so embarrassed.”

Cicero had been pushing at her boundaries lately, asking for a more physical relationship than she was ready to give him unless he made some sort of commitment to her. There had been a time or two where she’d had to physically push him off of her, aided by the wind at her command. Both times it had happened, he had seemed apologetic, told her he was just so crazy about her he had gotten carried away. 

Whenever she had asked why he hadn’t committed to being in a monogamous relationship he had had so many answers ready, each more logical sounding than the last. Pepa had started to think that she was being crazy, asking for him to commit without any promise that she would make it worth it for him.

She had ignored so many red flags. She felt like such an idiot.

“Pepa, no, you have nothing to be embarrassed about! That, that… absolute puta is the one who should be embarrassed,” Julietta jumped to reassure her, Pepa shook her head and said something that was swallowed up by the sound of thunder.

“I’ll wash the dress,” Bruno volunteered, the moment they crossed through the threshold of their home, “m-make it like tonight never happened.”

He usually hated doing the laundry, mostly because it was the chore he got stuck with the most. He’d complained to Felix, when the slightly older man had stopped by to drop off an order of corn flour, and Feilx had asked if Bruno was good at doing laundry. Bruno had reluctantly admitted that stains bothered him, and even though he was bored of the task, he couldn’t bring himself to do a bad job because then he would have to put up with seeing the stains. 

“Well, there’s your problem right there, hermano,” Felix had said, patting Bruno on the back.

Bruno liked Felix, most people did, but Bruno privately missed the days when Pepa was too busy pining over Felix to waste her time on idiots like Cicero. Ah, to be twelve again.

Pepa nodded sullenly, “Thank you Bruno. Julie, w-will you stay with me?”

“Of course,” Julietta said, “would you like anything to eat?”

Pepa stopped abruptly at the base of the stairs, looking somewhat stricken. Bruno detached himself from her and hared off to get the wash basin ready, he heard her blubber something to Julietta but couldn’t quite make out anything other than Cicero’s name. He heard Julie’s response loud and clear, and he briefly paused to gape at her over his shoulder. He didn’t know that Julietta knew how to curse like that, it was a good thing that they hadn’t stopped to grab their mother on the way out of the party. She would not have been pleased.

Of course, in the morning, when Julietta would quietly explain the night's events, their Mama would let out a few curses of her own.

While Bruno was busy prepping the wash basin, Pepa was beginning to feel the effects of the drug Cicero gave her. The weather inside Casita grew steadily worse as the last scraps of hope Pepa had held, hope that Leandra was wrong, hope that Cicero wasn’t that sort of man, slipped away like water through clenched fingers.

While Julietta quietly handed Bruno the delicately embroidered dress for him to wash, Pepa laid in her bed, staring at the ceiling and tried her very best to hold onto consciousness. The weather calmed as her attempts failed.

Bruno had started to hang the now clean dress up on the line, by the time Pepa regained a semblance of consciousness. And that was only because Julietta had shook her awake in order to offer her a bowl of arroz con leche. Upon realizing how truly helpless she was, how horribly wrong the night could have gone, Pepa summoned a great tornado that patrolled through the courtyard and corridors of Casita. Bruno extended his neck to look into the house at the perilous wind, then added more clips to the dress. He threw some salt over his shoulder then knocked on the nearest piece of wood, before finally sending out a little prayer that the dress would stay put. 

He wasn’t sure what saint to pray to for laundry related concerns, but he figured at least one of them must know the frustration of coming back to the clothesline to discover that your previously clean clothes had fallen in a mud puddle.

The tornado faded as Julietta reiterated her promise to stay with Pepa all night. There was nothing her food could do to cleanse the drug from Pepa’s body, but she could help heal any lingering after effects Pepa might feel in the morning.

“Ros- Rosalie,” Pepa slurred, “this happened to Rosalie last year.”

“It did,” Julietta whispered, calmly petting her sister’s hand.

“Everybody thought- Padré g-gave that sermon about alcohol.”

“He did.”

“She was telling the truth.”

“She was.”

Rosalie had woken up naked in a haystack in her family’s barn. She had been found by Florez, who worked for her father. When asked, she had sworn up and down that she hadn’t touched a drop of liquor and had left the party by herself the second she had started to feel a bit tired. Her friends had corroborated her story, but there was no denying the hand shaped bruises around her hips, or the baby she gave birth to nine months later.

When she had started to show, Rosalie had sobbed and begged her father to believe her, to help her figure out what had happened that night. He hadn’t. He had thrown her out and she had become a cautionary tale.

Alma had taken the girl in and made arrangements for her and her child to live with Señora Ruiz, the kindly old weaver who was in need of an apprentice. Rosalie barely wandered into town these days, unless it was for church. Even then, she usually arrived as late as she could without being rude, and left just as quickly.

It wasn’t that Pepa and Julietta hadn’t believed Rosalie, after all, both Mamá and Bruno took the woman at her word, why should they do any different? It was just… hard to accept that anyone in Encanto could do that to another person.

“They were friends, si?” Pepa asked, massaging her temple. It hurt to keep her eyes open. 

“Rosalie and…?” 

She gestured down at her lap where a plate’s worth of food had provided a convenient excuse to get away from Cicero, “What’s her face.”

“Oh, si. Still are, I think, might even be closer than they were before. I-I don’t know, they both live so far out of town,” Julietta sighed, realizing she didn’t really know much about the woman that had saved her sister tonight.

The goat herder, Raul Lopez, lived in the mountains surrounding Encanto, a reasonable place for a goat herder to live. His daughter, Leandra, was technically adopted, her birth family hadn’t survived the first few years in Encanto, but he loved her well enough and had given her everything he could. 

She was a bit younger than the triplets, but no more so than Agustín, Julietta’s boyfriend. In fact, she and Agustín were friends, weren’t they? Good friends, the last time she’d seen the two talk, Agustín had called Leandra “hermana” and he seemed to mean it.

Other than that, all Julietta knew about the other woman was that she had figured out how to make fine soaps and lotions by mixing lye and herbs into some of the goat milk. Leandra ran the market stall for her father, whenever Julietta had stopped by they talked about herbs and their different uses, or Agustín, never about themselves. 

All the same, Julietta had seen Leandra and her father move to sit next to Rosalie during Padré’s sermon on the dangers of alcohol and pre-marital sex. Which was a statement if there ever was one.

“Mami believed Rosalie,” Pepa suddenly said, after a pause so long Julietta had assumed she’d fallen asleep again.

“Do you want to tell Mamá about this?”

“No, but yes.”

“Do you want me to tell Mamá about this?”

“Si, por favor.”

There was a knock at Pepa’s door and Bruno poked his head in, “The dress is clean as new. D-do you need anything else?”

“What if I asked you to help me hide a body?” Pepa managed to ask, although it took effort to keep the words from smudging together.

Bruno grinned wryly, “Then I’d ask Julietta to be our alibi.”

Pepa snorted, then sighed, rubbing at her eyes in a way that Bruno mistook for her rubbing away tears. In truth, her head was beginning to pound from the effort it took to stay awake. Julietta squeezed her sister’s hand, then turned to Bruno.

“When Mama gets back can you let her know that I need to talk to her about something important? In the morning.”

“Claro,” Bruno nodded, “anything else?”

“There’s some extra arroz con leche in the kitchen if you want some,” Julietta offered softly.

“Have you had any?”

“Not yet.”

“I’ll bring you some. Pepa?”

Pepa grunted and shook her head. Bruno took this to mean that she was too upset to have more of her favorite dessert, he sighed and told Julietta he would be right back. By the time he arrived with a bowl of rice pudding for Julietta, Pepa had succumbed once again to the effects of Cicero’s drug. He decided he wouldn’t risk waking her but dropped a light kiss to each of his sisters’ heads.

Julietta squeezed his wrist and gave him a tight but warm smile, she was too caught up in thoughts of poor Rosalie for it to occur to her that Bruno didn’t actually know what was happening.

And because it didn’t occur to her that Bruno had no clue what was really going on, she didn’t tell him.

Meanwhile, Bruno sat down in the chair closest to Casita’s front door with his bowl of arroz con leche and continued thinking about the same thing he’d been thinking about since he’d left the party. That lying, envious, conniving, horrible, evil, petty, witch that had done this to his sister.

Bruno Madrigal was not what one would usually consider a confident man, when he was forced to make an appearance at a party he generally remained with one or both of his sisters. Lately he’d expanded his social circle to Agustín, so that was exciting, but even that was only because Agustín was dating Julietta. Otherwise, he kept to himself, avoiding human contact as much as he was able. 

As awed by his abilities as everybody had been when he was a child, once he hit that first growth spurt, once he’d started to lose the baby fat around his cheeks, their awe had turned to first irritation, then caution, and finally fear.

Bruno Madrigal was not what one would usually consider a confident man, because most only considered him a bad omen.

He wasn’t a violent man either, although his head danced with fantasies of throwing whole buckets of food onto the lying, envious, conniving, horrible, evil, petty, desperate, witch. Unfortunately, the thought of attacking another person in any way repelled him. Disgusted him, even. All the same, his sister deserved justice!

That lying, envious, conniving, horrible, evil, petty, desperate… he was running out of applicable insults. And it was getting much too long a descriptor, anyway.

Unfortunately, as previously stated, Bruno mostly kept to himself and well, he didn’t know her name.

He’d been to her quinceanera, he knew he had, because Mamá made them go to every quinceanera they were invited to. And, he’d bought cheese from her stall a few times. Bruno had even given her a vision once, and her father had sent her back with a thank you basket.

But he had never asked her name.

The village was small, and she had been in the grade below his in school. He sort of assumed that he should know her name by now, and it was weird that he didn’t, so he had always avoided calling attention to that fact.

He would call her la Reina Malvada, or Reina for short, after the evil queen in the play the school children had just put on. It made sense, obviously Reina was motivated by jealousy just like the evil queen in the story. The only women in the village who could compete with Reina’s beauty were the Madrigal sisters; it was only a matter of time before such a black hearted villainess went after one of them.

Well, Bruno wasn’t going to stand for this. He may not be a knight in shining armor, or a handsome prince, but he loved his sisters. And he wouldn’t let anyone get away with attacking them like this.

Reina came down from the mountains to sell her and her father’s wares in the market every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Bruno would pay her a visit and insist she apologize to his sister and admit what she had done. And if he had to lean into his reputation as Bad Luck Bruno to make that happen? A small price to pay for his sister’s happiness.

“Nourishment Pavilion”, Regent’s Park, London, UK _ Student: Nuralein Ali / BA3 _ 31.05.2022

The students were asked to design a “Nourishment Pavilion”, which should include a basic food preparation and serving area, a café and an art space. You need to critically re-interpret the idea and significance of “mind & body” nourishment, as well as address the issue of autonomous architecture and propose a variety of spatial solutions that could benefit and enhance the functions and atmospheres of the adjacent urban fabric of Regent’s Park and its environs, i.e. the areas around London Zoo, Regent’s University, the Open Air Theatre, the Outer Circle, etc.). The pavilion should include a basic food preparation and serving area, a café and an art space.

Each student defined his/her main theme: this was inspired from a variety of sources, e.g. site & context related, and was linked to the site and precedent analysis phase, Landscape Formation One [LF1], by Zaha Hadid.

The disassembling and reassembling operations can be both physical and conceptual. The precedent is analysed thoroughly. The operations and results are geared to help the students develop a basic working method around the ideas of transformation, transposition and displacement of specific elements or/and methodologies into new contexts, providing novel meanings and solutions to London’s dense city fabric.

Yensday #4 - 28 February 2024

Welcome back to another Yensday! We have two questions today, so let's get into it!

<><><> Q&A <><><>

@purplenidoqueen asked:

I was thinking about my childhood, and how the one thing that stands out more than anything is a little statuette my mother has. It got me thinking about what Yen might have latched onto, considering the youth she had. Whether a thing, or a person, or a creature, or a place... Is there one symbol from her childhood that she most cherishes to this day?

Yen is in a situation where she has a lot of strong memories but not a lot of keepsakes to tie her to them. The enforced meagerness of life for the Ala Mhigan refugees in Quarrymill kind of meant she just didn't have a lot ever.

With that said, she did have a few things to latch onto. Quarrymill, and the area outside its walls, is filled with memories for Yen due to how much exploring she got up to as a child. She was a bit of a troublemaker, and worse, a leader, so her antics would usually become a group's antics pretty quickly.

The biggest symbol linking her to her childhood, however, is more a ritual, and that's dyeing her hair. Her mother started doing it with her when she was nine, and Yen has pretty religiously maintained doing it ever since. Especially since the Calamity, it has tethered her to her childhood and to Aebba, both of which are now long gone... It's an act that is sacred to Yen now, this last little reminder to herself of love.

@vivailwrites asked:

I know a lot of people who make one character in a lot of different properties. I make and remake vivail in various roughly similar forms, as often as i make new characters. One of my favorite streamers makes her oc, voxer, in basically anything. She even made a voxer mech in ac6. Do you think you would ever make yen in another game or franchise or story or is she purely ffxiv

Yen is a character that I think is pretty versatile; you could put her in any setting, and she'll do at least alright. With that said, beyond a handful of times I have aesthetically remade her in other RPGs that I am poking at, I don't personally use her that much beyond the walls of FFXIV.

The main reason is, I think, that Yen was designed for one setting explicitly, and that's Eorzea. While I could pick her up and put her somewhere else, like Faerûn or Tattooine, I would have to change enough about her for her to fit into that world (or worlds) that she would stop being Yen. I think I'd rather create new characters at that point, tell a new story.

She is very near and dear to my heart, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I transported her for fun on occasion, little one-shots of a woman increasingly out of her depth.

<><><> Tidbits & Errata <><><>

Kind of spinning off of the first question, I actually had been thinking recently about what kid Yenifer was up to. She lost most of her adolescence to working; the Ala Mhigans needed every hand to make ends meet, and Gridania (and all of Eorzea, for that matter) has no child labor laws. Any time she did have to herself was probably spent similarly to how she spent it as a child: Getting into trouble.

I do like to imagine Yenifer as being a bit of a ringleader, both because it suits her and how she is, and because it echoes out to roles she will assume as an adult, throughout Light's Falle.

As far as how much of the Black Shroud she got to see, the answer is, unfortunately, quite little. The pre-Calamity Twelveswood was a bit of an enigma to navigate, so she could only safely explore a few square malm around the hamlet.

Something mentioned in passing in Gridanian Prelude is Yen finding a mysterious door in the southern Shroud that she was barred from exploring. That was, in fact, an entrance to the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, a place she will return to sooner than later.

Another detail that will crop up sooner than later is that Yenifer knows Buscarron, the owner of Buscarron's Druthers, and has since she was entering puberty. This is a bit of a gray area in the canon, when did Buscarron retire, and for the life of me I can't find something concrete. I've set it by fiat to be ten summers ago, in 1567, which means that he and Yen met when she was eleven at the earliest. They have a... complicated relationship, which is to say they tease the hell out of each other, something that I look forward to showing in the near future.

I want to thank you all again for stopping by. This is the first Yensday under my new schedule, and I think it's gone pretty well!

Til next time, may you ever walk in the light of the Crystal!

What is the purpose of a stub end?

Stub End Fittings, with precise stub end dimensions in mm, play a pivotal role in establishing seamless connections within the intricate landscape of pipe fittings. As a premier stub end manufacturers, Hilton Forge India proudly stands as a distinguished Stub End Buttweld Fittings Manufacturer, Supplier, Stockist, and Exporter. Our commitment extends to providing a diverse range of stub end fittings, meticulously crafted to meet the specific stub end specifications required for projects on a global scale. As a reliable stub end buttweld fittings manufacturer in India, we specialize in delivering high-quality products, adhering to ss stub end dimensions, and ensuring comprehensive solutions for various project needs. Choose us for unmatched expertise in stub end fittings and a commitment to excellence in every aspect of the manufacturing process.

Understanding the Basics of Stub End:

A Stub End is a type of pipe fitting that is used to connect pipes of different diameters. It typically consists of two parts — the main body and the loose backing flange. The main body is welded to the pipe, while the backing flange is bolted to another Stub End or a standard flange. This unique design serves several important purposes in piping systems.

Facilitating Easy Installation and Maintenance: Stub Ends are known for their versatility in joining pipes with different outside diameters. This makes them a go-to solution for situations where the connection of pipes with identical diameters is impractical. The ease of installation and maintenance makes Stub Ends a favorite among engineers and technicians.

Providing Flexibility in Piping Systems: The ability to connect pipes of varying sizes adds flexibility to piping systems. This is particularly valuable in industries where process requirements may change, and modifications to the piping layout become necessary. Stub Ends enable quick and efficient adaptations without the need for extensive rework.

Minimizing Stress and Vibration: The loose backing flange of the Stub End allows for rotational movement, reducing stress and vibration in the piping system. This is especially crucial in applications where thermal expansion and contraction are common, ensuring the longevity of the entire piping infrastructure.

Creating Leak-Proof Joints: The welding of the main body of the Stub End to the pipe results in a robust and leak-proof joint. Additionally, the bolted connection with the backing flange enhances the overall integrity of the joint, providing a reliable solution for preventing leaks in critical industrial processes.

Meeting Specific Industry Standards: Stub Ends are available in various materials and specifications, allowing them to meet the diverse standards required in different industries. Whether it’s for chemical processing, oil and gas, or water treatment, Stub Ends can be customized to comply with specific project requirements.

6-7 Stamford Bridge

Gisterenavond naar de pub bij de camping gelopen, sorry we are fully booked. Die heb ik nog niet eerder meegemaakt. Was ik nu maar gaan fietsen, dan had ik meer opties gehad! Via google vind ik de Piebald Inn, een beetje vreemde naam, maar je kunt er eten. Als ik daar aankom: heeft u gereserveerd? Als ik nee zeg, wordt er vreselijk gepuzzeld en geschoven en ik krijg ik een plekje in één van de eetzalen. Helemaal afgeladen met liefhebbers van de goede Engelse pie. Want daar gaat het hier om, ze hebben 52 verschillende varianten. Met vis, met vlees, met nieren en pens en zelfs vegetarisch. Bij de bar hangt een groot bord waarop staat hoeveel exemplaren van elke pie nog beschikbaar zijn. Ik ga voor de geit, er zijn er nog maar 2, dus die moet wel goed zijn. Er komen chips en erwten bij (uiteraard). Ik zak lekker weg in mijn hoekje met een pint en schrijf mijn verhaal van de dag af. En inderdaad, een enorm stuk pie, vette jus en dikke patatten met groene doperwtjes. Toe neem ik sponge cake met aardbeienjam en custardsaus.

En ik had een plan, ik moest over twee dagen in Churchill’s Hotel in Wombwell zijn. Daar heb ik een kamer geboekt. Dat is nog 180 kilometer, maar overwegend vlak, dus dat gaat lukken. Ik probeerde ook nog de camping voor morgen te verifiëren, maar ze zijn continu in gesprek. Nou ja, dan bestaat het nummer in elk geval nog.

Waarom Wombwell? Omdat ik van daaruit de Pennines in hapklare brokken kan oversteken. Je moet namelijk twee keer naar 500 meter klimmen over gravelpaden en nu kan ik het zo indelen dat ik niet beide pieken op één dag hoef te doen. En dan nog, ik word gewaarschuwd dat je die pieken moet beschouwen als “Alpine crossings”, dus niet doen bij mist, sneeuw, onweer en harde wind. Dat belooft wat!

Wat me de afgelopen dagen ook opgevallen is, is dat de Engelsen echte hondenliefhebbers zijn. Die oude spoorlijntjes worden ook als wandelpad gebruikt en je moet voortdurend afremmen voor mensen die keurig gecoiffeerde honden uitlaten, allemaal even goed gemanierd. Die komen meteen als het baasje roept en wachten keurig in de berm tot ik voorbij ben. Ik zeg dan altijd vriendelijk gedag en dankjewel. De meeste mensen knikken me dan vriendelijk toe, op de enkeling na die vindt dat fietsers hier niet thuis horen.

Ik werd gisterenavond om 11 uur wakker, er liep een hele groep lachende en pratende mannen voorbij. Ik dacht nog, de pub is zeker net dicht gegaan, maar even later brak er een hels kabaal los. Het bleken spoorwegarbeiders die in de nachtelijke uren de rails kwamen verwijderen. Daarbij wordt met mokers op ijzeren spoorstaven geslagen en met een soort gemotoriseerde schroefmachines worden de bouten los gedraaid. Ik moet zeggen dat ze wel doorwerkten want in de loop van de nacht verwijderden ze zich steeds meer van de camping.

Het is een totaal ander landschap vandaag, grote heuvels met uitgestrekte akkers. Er staat een vlagerige koude wind tegen. Nadat ik weer eens mijn fiets naar boven geduwd heb en met bonzend hart sta te wachten tot mijn ademhaling weer een beetje gekalmeerd is, besluit ik tot een ernstig gesprek met mezelf. Waar zijn wij eigenlijk mee bezig, mijnheer Hoving? Dit is nog lang niet het zwaarste deel van de route en je komt nu al kracht en conditie tekort. Komt daarbovenop nog eens het besef dat ik een dag achterloop in mijn hoofd en vanavond al in Churchill’s Hotel verwacht wordt in olaats van morgenavond en dat is nog 120 kilometer hiervandaan.

Tijd voor pas op de plaats. Ik ga naar de camping van Stamford Bridge vlak bij York. Daar krijg ik een prachtige plek aan een vijver op een enorm grasveld.

En ik sla aan het rekenen. Zelfs met een betere conditie wordt het hard werken om op tijd in Harwich te komen als ik eerst naar Southampton wil. Dus ik maak een nieuw plan. Optie 1: kortere dagafstanden en langer wegblijven is niet mogelijk. Ik heb ook maar vier weken vakantie. Optie 2: ik zoek de route van de LF1 op, die gaat van Hull naar Harwich en die is een stuk minder inspannend. Dat lijkt me de beste keue. Morgen naar York om te proberen een gids van die route te krijgen en dan overmorgen op pad. Kan ik intussen nog een beetje bijkomen van de afgelopen twee dagen.

Het is wel een teleurstelling, maar ik merk dat dit plan toch wat te hoog gegrepen was.

Gefietste afstand: 62

Tijd: 5 uur

Updates and stuff 😂

So...still not all that much to say these days regarding Rob and Kristen. Kristen's currently in Europe filming her latest movie Sils Maria. Rob as far as I know is currently not filming...the most recent thing he's done is Dior, and he was in Australia filming The Rover.

Lately I've had a lot of people asking me about Rob allegedly moving to Beverly Hills. Of course I asked my pendulum...several times...and the answer was, still is, and most likely always will be NO. Rob DID NOT move to Beverly Hills.

I've also been asked if he's selling the first house he purchased in Los Feliz...more commonly known to the fandom as LF1. My pendulum reads unsure as to whether he's selling it or not...but if he was it wouldn't surprise me. The paps know where that house is located, and since they've known they've practically lived outside the gate, which to me is ridiculous. These two people have not had time to breathe in I don't know how long, and it's been way out of hand ever since.

While out running errands a couple weeks back, I was shopping at a local department store, and when I came across the checkout counters with all the tab mags splayed out before me, I noticed that not one had anything with Rob or Kristen on the front cover. At that moment I felt a bit of peace for them, and was happy to see that after months of them on front pages with lies and BS surrounding them, they finally had this "break" from it.

My last outing, however, was different.

I was at my local grocery store, and saw Kristen on the cover of OK magazine. What I saw was complete and utter BULLSHIT (yes, I spelled it out this time!).

So, now they're saying Kristen is going bald.

WHAT THE EFF?!?!

They have nothing better to print, so they're sinking as low as to degrade her like that??

Oh, and Rob's not left out of this equation...while I didn't see anything on him in OK mag, I've noticed that people recently tried to hook him up with Katy Perry...AGAIN.

How many times do you people have to try hooking him up with the same person before you realize that: 1) HE'S NOT WITH HER AND NEVER WILL BE 2) HE'S WITH KRISTEN AND YOU CAN EITHER ACCEPT IT OR GO EFF YOURSELF

Katy is friends with Rob...Katy is friends with Kristen...are they not allowed to spend time with FRIENDS, even if it's separately? And...every time Katy and Rob are spotted together, they're always with other people. THEY ARE NEVER ALONE!

Just...stop it. STOP!!

Yes, I'm getting angry again...going into rant mode.

I was watching the movie Sweet Home Alabama the other night...some of you I know saw my post about this on Twitter. Those of you that haven't...I posted about how Candace Bergen had it correct when in that movie she said "Happy couples don't sell."

ROB AND KRISTEN ARE LIVING PROOF OF THIS.

It's obvious to me that they're happy. Why? Because the tabs are always posting crap about them to make it look like they're not happy.

BUT THEY ARE!!!

My pendulum's told me on several occasions that Rob's been to Europe...to see Kristen. Also, Rob went MIA for a week and Kristen wasn't spotted on set at that time. The day she went back on set, Rob's spotted back in LA.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

They're together...either accept it...or GO EFF YOURSELF.

Okay, I'm done ranting now. Everyone have a great day, and enjoy!!

Yensday #3 - 21 February 2024

Welcome back! Again, apologies for skipping last Wednesday, but it's good to be back and doing things again!

Before we get started, I do want to say that, because of my new schedule, I will be aiming to release Yensdays in the morning rather than around noon, or the afternoon. Ideally, there'll be no hiccups, but I will do my best to let you all know if something comes up!

Without further ado...

<><><> Q&A <><><>

@vivailwrites asked:

For Yensday, what would you say your overarching themes of your story is? A story about Yen, about the world, about politics, about the rigors of being A Heroine and Forced By Greater Powers(tm)?

I think that this is a really interesting corollary to the question asked in the first Yensday a few weeks ago! To quote what I said then, "Yenifer's story is one about diaspora," and I do stand by that. However, diaspora is a very large thing, and just saying that the story is just about that removes a lot of important detail. Like any story involving a mass human tragedy, much less a specific injustice, there are facets that become highlighted depending on where one exists in that tragedy.

I think that the most overarching theme in Light's Falle is a search for identity in the face of the diaspora. Yen uses definitions for herself that erode as circumstances give her new contexts, or as actions and actors rip them out of her hands. Yen trying to find who she is, what broader identity she can wrap herself inside of, is being actively pushed back against by external forces. No one has called her a Warrior of Light yet (much less the Warrior of Light) in the story as released, but those expectations are already pressing down on her. Her original identity, the girl from Quarrymill, is fading away. By the end of Gridanian Prelude, she has adopted the title of lancer, but the titles of "Mad Spearwoman of Ala Mhigo," "Emissary," and "Envoy" are forced upon her. The title she most does not want to be associated with, which is the one that Hydaelyn gave to her unspoken, is the one that has earned her the lethal attention of the Ascians/Paragons, and that has a body count.

Yen's search for identity is always one that is going to be in flux, especially as stakes raise and circumstances get crueler. Heavensward will be, in particular, a crucible, but a massive challenge waits for her not too long in the future well before Teledji's plot, and there will be further challenges in Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker. Only by the end do I think Yen will have fully, truly found her footing, but the longer she explores the star and herself, the more she finds lodestones to carry with her, identities that she embraces and will not allow anyone to take from her.

The political landscape of Eorzea and of the larger star will be something Yenifer has to navigate. Metaphysics, ancient battles between gods, and secrets bathed black in silence are all going to shape her... but she will shape them back. And, I think, in the end, she will know exactly who she is, and any opponent who crashes against her will fail. She defines herself, and in that definition comes the will to hope and to dream.

<><><> Tidbits & Errata <><><>

Picking a slightly less topic for the second section, I wanted to talk a littttttle bit about some slightly goofy production details!

So, wayyyyyyyy back when I started writing what would become the story we have today, I hadn't actually intended to write something this massive in scope. More fool me! Originally, what it had begun as was a set of little journal entries of my new character that I would upload to friends. I thought it'd be good practice, and I was also trying to tie myself to Yenifer as a player pretty deeply. I wanted to play slow (too slow, in truth: Yenifer, in-game, is currently on Lv.54 MSQ, and has a /ptime of 28 days), and I just didn't... think about it.

Chapters back then were called "Entries," and they were punctuated by snippets of Yenifer's journal (my attempt to adapt the in-game journal sort-of-kind-of). Back then, Yen could read and write - a trait I removed from her (let me tell you, scrubbing references to the journal took more work than I anticipated) during rewrites.

Behold! A snippet of the original! This dates allll the way back to February of 2022, which at this point feels like forever ago. Pretty much all of the first third of Gridanian Prelude was extensively rewritten by me after I had finished drafting it, to bring it in line with the structure that you all are familiar with by now.

I don't exactly know when I realized that Light's Falle was a book, much less a book series, but it was in the spring of 2022, after a few months of having written entry after entry. In the end, the decision was just a recognition of where things were now; I was no longer writing little things for my friends. I had stumbled into a novel, much less a novel series, and I've been etching it out ever since!

I want to thank you all for again stopping by! I apologize for how word-heavy this one was, I hope that it didn't make your heads roll back into your skulls! I'll see you all next week, and until then, may you ever walk in the light of the Crystal!

Forged fittings vs Buttweld Fittings

While Buttweld Fittings are utilized for greater diameter pipe, forged fittings are utilized for pipe systems with dimensions less than 2 or 4 inches (4′′ for 2000#/3000# fittings and 2′′ for 6000#/9000# fittings).

These two primary categories of forged steel parts are threaded fittings and socket weld fittings, that are welded to pipes using fillet welders.

Forged steel pipe fittings fit ASME B36.10 and ASME B36.19 alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, and high nickel alloy tubes of smaller diameter size are covered by the ASME B16.11, MSS SP 75, MSS SP 83, and MSS SP 95 requirements.

The desired shape of forged steel fittings such as forged flanges etc is achieved through machining solid blocks of steel inside the tolerances set forth by the relevant requirements.  However, seamless or welded steel pipes are required to be cut, bent, and curved in order to make buttweld fittings.

Forged Fittings Types

With bore sizes ranging from 1/8 to 4 inches and ratings ranging from 2000#, #3000, 6000# to 9000#, socket weld and threaded fittings are available in a variety of kinds, measurements, and material grades. The far more popular are ASTM A105, ASTM A350 LF1/2/3/6 for lower temperature uses, and ASTM 182 for corrosive, higher temperature uses. The permissible limits pressure that the equipment can withstand is specified by the fitting’s class.

Schedule 80/XS pipes are fitted with class 3000 fittings, Sch. 160 pipes with class 6000 fittings, and greater wall thickness pipes with class 9000 connectors (XXS).

The Pipe Flanges, Fittings, and Valves can be interfaced in a variety of ways, including socket welding, butt welding, stringing, etc. Butt welding and socket welding are two that are commonly used and known techniques. Though they both seem to have advantages and disadvantages, you can be confused about which one is appropriate for your development projects. There is a major difference between forged and cast, forged vs cast is distinguished by welding forged steel, forged flange suppliers, forged steel flanges specifications, carbon steel buttweld fittings, stainless steel buttweld fittings, buttweld valves and much more.

Socket Weld:

The ASME B16.11 specifies the characteristics of socket weld fittings. Similarly, a pipe is inserted into a depression in the fitting using socket welding. The tube and the fitting are both square cut, allowing for straightforward welding and installation. There is no need for an angle end or further prep beyond exterior cleanliness. Two different sized pieces of pipe are included in a socket weld fitting. The smaller pipe contains the larger piece. The larger pipe’s exterior circuit is completely encircled by the weld.

ButtWeld:

A depiction of buttweld fittings can be found in ASME B16.9. They have a comparable thicknesses to channels and are similarly soldered to the pipe ends at the closing. Butt weld fittings will have a slant finish. Two material pieces are shoved against each another and welded to form a butt weld fitting.
